Qin Wan put the magnifying glass on it, and sure enough, the tiny words in the corner of the scroll suddenly became larger, and even the texture of the paper, the imperfections in the mounting joints, and the delicate brushstrokes were visible.
Qin Bai was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing!"
He took a magnifying glass and carefully observed the scroll from beginning to end. This was not enough, so he picked up the teacup on the table and observed it again.
Qin Wan asked people to take down the porcelain bottles and other items on the antique display shelf, and even took down the glass jars and placed them on the table.
Qin Bai was so engrossed in his studies that he didn't notice anything else. He just looked at the things at hand one by one. After a long while, he had an idea and looked at Qin Wan with burning eyes: "Can you do better? Zoom in on something more detailed?"
Qin Wan nodded: "Of course."
What a magnifying glass cannot do, a telescope can do. However, she has not yet achieved her best, but it will be possible with time.
Qin Bai touched the magnifying glass and said, "How many of these do you have? Uncle San wants them all. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good price."
Qin Wan shook her head and had a few more magnifying glasses brought to her Third Uncle. "I have these things, but not a lot. If you want them, take them. I'll give them to you as much as you want later. As for the money, you've given me so many good things. How could I ask for your money?"
Qin Bai picked up several magnifying glasses on the table, fearing that Qin Wan would regret it and run away, and even forgot to use the telescope.
Qin Wan picked up the telescope and took a look. She had been working on this thing for a long time, but she was still not satisfied. It was not for any other reason but because it could not achieve the effect that Bai Wanyi had said, that is, to be able to see the fine hairs on a person's face from a thousand miles away.
She put away the telescope with regret, and asked someone to pick up a magnifying glass to find her grandfather.
Although Qin Zhan is already a great-grandfather, his eyesight and hearing are not blurry, and he spends the whole day wielding swords and clubs, and is very brave.
He had no work to do, so he usually trained a group of naughty boys in martial arts at home. He did not let them go even during the New Year's Day. After paying New Year's greetings in the morning, he took them all to the training ground. After lunch, he took them there again, under the pretext of helping them digest their food.
When Qin Wan arrived, several children were playing with swords, three others were doing horse stance in the sun, and Qin Zhan was sitting in the corridor wiping his sweat, obviously having just finished a set of boxing.
Qin Wan smiled and said, “Grandfather, are they being naughty again?”
Qin Zhan asked someone to help him put on his clothes. "Your father and his family weren't this difficult to raise when they were little. You were just a little naughty when you were little. You little naughty monkeys, you've become more capable now. You can cause trouble without even noticing. By the way, what are you doing here? You're not going to work in your shop today?"
"I got something good and wanted to share it with my grandfather." Qin Wan acted coquettishly, but she didn't ask what trouble these children had gotten into. If she did, the topic would inevitably turn to her own childhood and dig up her dark history.
Qin Zhan squinted at her and asked, "What good stuff?"
"Auntie, auntie, what good stuff?"
A few little kids with sharp ears gathered around immediately after hearing what was said.
The three who were doing horse stance couldn't help but lean over to look over here, and their toes couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, making it impossible for them to maintain their horse stance.
Qin Wan pleaded for them: "Grandfather, please spare them and let these guys see something new."
This will also save you from not understanding these things in the future, which would be disastrous if the house burns down.
Qin Zhan glanced at his great-grandchildren whose legs were trembling, and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, your aunt pleaded for mercy, so let it go today."
"Oh! Auntie is so nice!"
"Thank you, Zuzu!"
The three children ran to Qin Wan and looked up at her, "Auntie, what good things did you bring?"
“Is it delicious?”
When Qin Wan's dim sum shop tries out new products, these children are the most supportive. They will eat up all the food, whether it's delicious or not.
Qin Wan smiled and touched her nephew's head: "This time it's not about food, it's about play. Go and help your aunt find some dry firewood and dead leaves."
It’s the New Year now, and I don’t know how many times it snowed before the New Year. Where are the leaves on the trees?
But the children all have their own ways. After the task was handed over, not long after, they gathered a handful of hay and broke off a few branches from somewhere and ran over.
Qin Wan put the branches underneath and the hay on top, but it had snowed not long ago and the sky hadn't been sunny much, so these were still a little damp.
She looked at the little kids around her. They were all wearing thin clothes because they practiced martial arts. Even so, they were sweating in the winter.
The most mischievous child had his clothes torn. Qin Wan reached out and grabbed him, tearing his clothes off: "Put clothes on them all, don't let them get cold."
The wet nurses immediately began to catch the group of monkeys and put clothes on them.
The one whose clothes were torn was Qin Wan's eldest brother's eldest son, Qin Chengming. He looked at Qin Wan curiously as she fiddled with the rag and asked, "Aunt, why are you tearing my clothes?"
"I'll show you a trick."
Qin Wan put the rag and hay together and took out a magnifying glass. Fortunately, the sun was out today and it was warm, otherwise, if it had been a few days ago, this magic trick would not have been possible.
Qin Wan adjusted the magnifying glass, and a dazzling spot of light condensed on the rag.
Qin Chengming stared at it curiously, but couldn't figure out what was going on after a long time.
Qin Zhan squatted beside Qin Chengming, looked at the rag, looked at the magnifying glass, and then looked at Qin Wan: "What are you doing?"
"Light the fire." Qin Wan said.
Qin Zhan didn't understand: "This isn't hot, how do I light it?"
Nowadays, people light fires with either a tinder or a flint, but both require something to ignite the fire. How can this just be a round piece of glass that can be used to light a fire?
Qin Wan nodded: "We'll find out after we wait."
Qin Wan knew this because Ping'er had been playing with a magnifying glass in her previous life and forgot to put it away, so she placed it on the table in the study. The sunlight shone in, and the light spots condensed on the scroll in the scroll tank next to the colorful lotus pond. In just over half an hour, the fire started.
The first time Bai Wanyi attacked Ping'er, Qin Wan realized that a magnifying glass could also start a fire.
However, Bai Wanyi was very wary of her at that time. Qin Wan had never been able to use a magnifying glass in her previous life, but she saw it and got it in this life, so of course she had to make a magnifying glass.
So Qin Wan is looking forward to the results.
But Qin Wan didn't remember that it was winter, and the sun couldn't be that bright, not to mention it was already afternoon, so how could it be of any use?
Qin Wan and the children squatted nearby and soon became tired. The maids and servants brought stools for them to sit on, and someone else took Qin Wan's place holding the magnifying glass.
After more than an hour, there was still no change in the rag under the light spot.
Several little radish heads chattered:
"Auntie, auntie, is this true?"
"Auntie, I'm tired. Why hasn't it changed yet?"
